It was so neat talking with them. Especially when Eric was around, he could get my grandad just a-talkin'! They have been through so much together, they have seen so much. My grandma said the best thing that ever happened to them was electricity. And running water. She remembers her first bathroom ever. I take it all for granted...that is for sure! I think we had them blushing a little when we were asking about their dating history and proposal. Haha! My grandad tried to turn it around and get us talking about when Eric proposed to me instead :)
I am so grateful that my grandparents are still alive, that I am able to have these opportunities to get to know them better. I love them so much! I truly do have an amazing family!
p.s. Who made the apple snicker salad for a BBQ over the weekend?! Did you love it? ;)

LOVED this post so much Courtney.
I can't believe that your grandparents are that old, they look absolutely AMAZING!!! I think it's so wonderful that they still have each other at this age. 77 years of marriage would have to be a world record!
77 years of marriage is amazing! Yay for them!
Congrats on 77 years!!! Looks like you had so much fun!
I remember talking about that with all of them when me and trevor went to see them :) they are the best.
